The Trail Blazers on Wednesday night said All-Star guard Brandon Roy will miss the next two games after a magnetic resonance imaging revealed "no change" from the last images taken from his left knee.

Surgery was "not contemplated" according to the team, and Roy will be reevaluated in a week.

Roy, who has been playing with a swollen and aching left knee, left Saturday's game at New Orleans in the third quarter after feeling a piercing pain in his left knee. He was held out of Tuesday's game at Memphis.

Roy will miss Thursday's home game against Denver and Saturday's home game against Utah. The first game he will be considered to return for is the Nov. 26 home game against New Orleans.

Roy, 26, said last week that he has had his left knee drained twice this season, then later added that he no longer has any meniscus in his right or left knee.

Roy has had four knee surgeries, two on each knee, and one on each knee since he joined the Blazers as the seventh overall pick of the 2006 NBA Draft.

His last surgery on the left knee was in August of 2008. He returned to have his best season, playing 78 games while averaging 22.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds.

Last season, Roy had surgery on his right knee, forcing him to miss the final two regular season games. He came back eight days after surgery to play in the playoffs, making a surprise appearance in a Game 4 victory over Phoenix at the Rose Garden.

Roy is the first year of a five-year, $82 million contract.

Wesley Matthews is expected to start in place of Roy for the next two games. Matthews on Tuesday started and scored a career-high 30 points in a 100-99 victory at Memphis.
